LibriVox

LibriVox is a fairly new organization (start-up in August, 2005) to harness the power of the multimedia web. As its name implies, the site provides access to public domain works that have been recorded as podcasts and audio files by community members, a kind of audio Project Gutenberg. In these days of rising print costs, I know my students appreciate being able to download public domain texts from various sites; now they can listen to and read many of those texts.
